D's Review of Precision Reflex AR-15/M16 Round Free Float Carbon Fiber Extended Forearm
The handguard itself, was pretty good. The cerakote was kind of all over the place in thickness, between 2 and 9 mils. and for $350, I feel like getting someone who can apply cerakote consistently should be something they can accomplish. For reference, most things are in the firearms industry are around +2 or +3. Also, on the inside of the tube, there was about 4 pieces, about 3-4 inches long, of what looked like dental floss hanging inside. It might be part of the form for the carbon fiber? maybe the weave itself or from drilling holes?, and prob not a big deal, I just got some wire and stuck in it there so i could get some pliers on it and pull it out or snip it, but again, when you spend this much, having someone clip things like that off, during qc before shipping, seems like a no brainer. And the last and most annoying thing, they dont include a wrench for tightening the handguard. BCM, Aero, Midwest Industries, strike industries, and pretty much every other brand i can think of, include a way to tighten their handguard, Not with PRI. If you want the Gen 3 forearm wrench, that'll be another $15. Could make it more clear that it isnt included, its super annoying to order something, think you are ready to go, assuming it will be like every other handguard on earth, only to not have the item that is usually included. Then you have to wait, put in another order, and everything that goes with it. Seems like a unnecessary corner to cut, for them to save the couple dollars that it would cost them to include the cheap spanner wrench that is the "Gen 3 forearm assembly tool".
